Interview Survival Kit for the Budding Product Manager
If you can only read one PM interview article, read this one.
Four years ago when I decided even the big guy up there couldn’t stop me from becoming a product manager, there were virtually no resources out there for me. All my friends thought product managers were the people who checked inventory on aisle 7 for traffic cones in Home Depot. Now, times have certainly changed, but I thought I’d make your life easier by compiling shortlists to existing resources out there, along with a handy prep timeline.
Here’s the breakdown of this article:
- I’ll walk you through every single type of PM interview that exists.
- I’ll prescribe you a study plan depending on how much time you have to prep.
- I’ll provide a list of external resources, question banks, and prep communities you can join today. Like right now.
100% Guaranteed to be in your Interview
These sections are definitely gonna be in your interview, so if you only have time to cram a few things in your big brain you need to know this stuff. I’ve added a ⭐️ emoji for the resources you should focus on, and a ⏰ emoji for additional good reads — if you have time.
